Evaluation of choroidal tumors with optical coherence tomography: enhanced depth imaging and OCT-angiography features.
Article in Eye (London, England), 2017. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 31 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
AimTo describe the vascular features of choroidal tumors using enhanced depth imaging (EDI), optical coherence tomography (OCT), and OCT-angiography.MethodsIn this prospective study, we evaluated 116 Caucasian patients with choroidal tumors (60 eyes with choroidal nevi, 40 with choroidal melanoma, 6 with choroidal hemangioma, 2 with optic disc melanocytoma, 6 with choroidal osteoma, and 2 with retinal metastases). Patients underwent a complete ophthalmic examination including bulbar echography, EDI-OCT, OCT-angiography, and multicolor imaging. Sixteen patients also underwent fluorescein and indocyanine angiography.ResultsThe left eye was more involved than the right eye. The mean tumor thickness was 1.23±0.17 mm in the 60 eyes with choroidal nevi; 2.75±0.83 mm in the 40 eyes with choroidal melanoma; 3.28±0.78 mm in the 6 eyes with retinal angioma; 2.02±0.001 mm in the 2 eyes with optic disc melanocytoma; 2.40±0.31 mm in the 6 eyes with choroidal osteoma; and last, 3.49±0.001 mm in the 2 eyes with retinal metastases. OCT-angiography showed: (i) a lack of blood flow in the outer retinal layer (ORL) and a normal choroid capillary layer in choroidal nevi and optic disc melanocytomas; (ii) a lack of blood flow in the ORL of choroidal metastases; and (iii) a dense irregular vascular network in the ORL and choroid capillary layers of choroidal melanomas, choroidal hemangiomas, and choroidal osteomas.ConclusionsOCT-angiography is a noninvasive reliable method with which to evaluate the vascularization of small choroidal tumors and may improve the diagnosis of these tumors.
